Slow Food Mother City

African Relish (in the Karoo town of Prince Albert) is hosting a weekend course with Oded Schwartz, the master of preserving. We visited Oded’s Kitchen back in April, and learnt the basics, but this course will give budding preservers out there quite a bit more detail!

Preserving is an ancient culinary technique that has recently been experiencing a revival. On Saturday 10 April, Oded Schwartz gave a fascinated group of Slow Fooders a ‘potted history’ of preserving, from why the root of ‘salt’ and of ‘war’ are so similar in Hebrew to why the origin of marmalade has more to do with quinces than oranges.

Slow Food Mother City will be hosting an introduction to the pleasures of preserving with Oded Schwartz on 10 April. Join us for two hours of preserving history, theory, skills and tips, shared in a convivial atmosphere in Oded’s own kitchen. We’ll be tasting Oded’s preserves and pickles, and washing them down with Jack Black beer.
